I have the same issue and it's very frustrating. Many times I don't hear the watch notification and miss important calls and texts. fieryjack is simply copying/pasting Apple's info without offering any suggestions, and really not being very helpful regarding your question. "I gave you the correct answer" is a terrible way to communicate.


Hopefully this gets enough traction that Apple fixes this "feature" which is actually a developer preference rather than what the community of Apple users want and need.
